Pinnacle Human Resources, LLC provides companies with targeted human resources support solutions specifically tailored to fit their needs. Our philosophy is based on the idea that high quality human resources support should be available to all businesses, regardless of size.

Most small businesses have basic HR handled, including payroll, transaction processing of new employees, and benefits, but tend to be ill prepared and unadvised in areas such as HR Best Practices and Employment Law compliance.

In larger organizations, shrinking Human Resources departments are working long hours to keep up with the daily demands of supporting the company’s workforce. When company initiatives come up like sudden growth, updating the employee handbook, or providing management with a new HRMS system, the project may stay on the white board for many months, if not years. The result puts the company at risk of decreasing quality of the human resources delivery system.
